BaseOutputPath is not respected as per the documentation

See original GitHub issue

Going back to Visual Studio 2008 (and up to the current version) it is documented that BaseOutputPath is a “Common MSBuild Project Property”.

Specifically it is specified:

Specifies the base path for the output file. If it is set, MSBuild will use OutputPath = $(BaseOutputPath)$(Configuration).

However, BaseOutputPath is not actually defined or used anywhere in the Common props or targets files.

Yes, I believe we should move it from the SDK to the Common props.
